PRESS
"One of the most disturbing novels I've read in a long time.
It possesses an unnerving air of documentary reality."
-Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times
"Ellis takes you down and down into a nothingness called L.A...that
puts no value on anything. He is an extraordinary writer."
-L.A. Weekly
"Bret Easton Ellis...is an extremely traditional and very
serious American novelist. He is the model of filial piety, counting
among his parents Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Nathanael
West, and Joan Didion."
-Carolyn See, Washington Post
"Startling and hypnotic...a haunting, evocative portrait of
a kind of L.A. life almost too turbulent to believe."
-Interview
"An updated Catcher in the Rye."
-Los
Angeles Times
"Filled with languid comic terror, Less Than Zero is
a startling debut for Bret Ellis, a no wave West Coast La Dolce
Vita."
-Richard
Price
"A fascinating read."
-Detroit
Free Press
"This is the novel your mother warned you about. Jim Morrison
would be proud."
-Eve
Babitz
"Never has Hollywood's version of success looked so frightening
in a piece of contemporary literature."
-Newsday
"Remarkable. A killer-sexy, sassy, and sad...It's a teenage
slice-of-death novel, no holds barred. The feel of it hits where
it hurts."
-Village
Voice
"Catcher in the Rye for the MTV generation."
-USA
